Sustainable design: from the ethics of consumption to the ethics of production. Base Diseño E Innovación, 9(10), 17–27. https://doi.org/10.52611/bdi.num10.2024.1008https://hdl.handle.net/11447/9412The controversial concept of ethical consumption has been profusely associated with design practice in recent decades. However, on many occasions, its implementation is assumed as beneficial in the definition of all kinds of design projects without considering the nuances and/or considerations regarding its social, cultural, and productive implications. This paper seeks to help remedy the uncritical adoption of ethical consumption in design practice. To achieve this objective, we performed a multidisciplinary bibliographic discussion that exposes valuable background information to generate an argued position regarding ethical consumption and its link with the logic of sustainable design. The results derived from the analysis of the existing literature suggest an early positioning of the designer's participation in the design process. Finally, some possible ways of disciplinary confrontation of the environmental crisis that could generate higher levels of innovation are proposed.11 p.enDiseño sostenibleConsumo éticoDiseño especulativo críticoDiseño sostenible: de la ética del consumo a la ética de la producción / Sustainable design: from the ethics of consumption to the ethics of productionSustainable design: from the ethics of consumption to the ethics of productionArticlehttps://doi.org/10.52611/bdi.num10.2024.1008
